TL;DR: The genome sequences of its diploid ancestors are reported to show that these genomes are similar to cultivated peanut's A and B subgenomes and used to identify candidate disease resistance genes, to guide tetraploid transcript assemblies and to detect genetic exchange between cultivated peanuts' subgenome.

TL;DR: High-quality genome sequence of cultivated peanut provides insights into genome evolution and the genetic mechanisms underlying seed size and leaf resistance in peanut, providing a cornerstone for functional genomics and peanut improvement.

TL;DR: Results show that regulatory miRNAs exist in agronomically important peanuts and may play an important role in peanut growth, development, and response to environmental stress.

TL;DR: The cis-acting elements analysis suggested that GmWRKY genes were transcriptionally regulated upon dehydration and salt stress, and RNA-seq data analysis indicated that three Gm WRKY genes responded negatively to dehydration, and 12 genes positively responded to salt stress at 1, 6 and 12 h, respectively.

TL;DR: WGRS of mapping populations has facilitated development of high‐density genetic maps essential for fine mapping and candidate gene discovery for traits of interest in crop species and KASP markers were developed for major QTLs and validated in the population and are ready for further deployment in genomics‐assisted breeding in peanut.
